Description

The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is the next generation instrument in ground-based gamma-ray astronomy. It is just coming to the end of a 3 year design study, and in this talk we will discuss the detailed simulation studies performed to assess the need for atmospheric monitoring and the methods by which correction for atmospheric variation may be achieved.
